Russia says drones lightly damage Moscow buildings before dawn, while Ukraine's capital bombarded
"A rare drone attack in Moscow has caused light damage and forced evacuations. It's the first time residential buildings have been struck in the Russian capital since the war in Ukraine began. The Russian defense ministry says 5 drones were shot down and the systems of three others were jammed, causing them to veer off course. Moscow's mayor says two people have received treatment for unspecified injuries, but were not hospitalized. President Putin claims it's an attempt from Kyiv to intimidate Russia and that it's a clear sign of terrorist activities. Ukraine has made no direct comment on the attack. The Kremlin, meanwhile, has pursued its relentless bombardment of Kyiv with a third assault on the city in 24 hours. I'm Lawrence Brooks

But the House oversight committee is weighing a subpoena whether if Hunter Biden misses on his deadline of today to produce documents on this foreign business dealings question. And will they take action? Will they not? I don't know. We shall see how that turns out tomorrow and in the days to come. There's also I mentioned this earlier, but it's worthy of repetition. Seattle is now reversing course after they made this big stink about defunding the police, which was an experiment that ended in disaster. With residents saying, you know, hey, look, we need, we need cops. You also have some House Republicans are visiting Kyiv. Or Kyiv as it's known in Ukraine. Saying that there's strong bipartisan support for Ukraine to give them everything they need. And I think, you know, it's probably not the best word choice. And I think Lindsey Graham was taking fire for that one. And of course, there's some news on the radio front. NPR, my least favorite radio network is cutting their workforce by 10% because of an advertising slowdown that has hit public media. Now, let me tell you, it's not just public media. I mean, I think whenever there is a recession on the cusp of occurring and you have several other economic factors like inflation and things, people are trying to figure out how they're buying eggs, which are extraordinarily expensive, let alone how they're going to be advertising. And I think it's interesting to note that all advertising. People advertise where it makes sense for them. And before we started the show, or at least this hour, the show, somebody who was on the phone asking, oh, why have so and so abandoned a particular product and sponsor. And all I could say is that it could not be further from the truth. Advertisers advertise certain times of the year on certain programs, sometimes they do it for just for a season. And for a listener to think that somebody is canceling a sponsor is absurd. This is absurd to think that. And here you have NPR, national public radio, that is cut their workforce by 10%. This is an interesting thing. I personally don't believe that we need national public radio. I don't think it's something that the taxpayers should fund, even if it's in part. I know they do some sort of sponsorship of it through the government. And then they go and they do their annual drive and they sell you a little tote bag or whatever it is. And they raise the rest of their money to support the radio stations. But that's where they are. And the CEO of NPR, John Lansing says there's this sharp decline in sponsorship revenue. And again, I recently did an interview with Barrett news media. And they report on sports and talk radio news talk radio. And we were talking about them and they asked me, why do you think there's a lack of center left programming on radio in general? And I told them, I think, you know, again, there was a talk radio network that was left leaning out of New York called air America. It was, let me see, it was WLB 1590, it started out as on the a.m. dial. And it really wasn't good. You know what I mean? It's all I could say was it wasn't very entertaining. It wasn't very informative. It really wasn't something where you would sit there and say, I really want to listen to this. Now again, some people may make that critique of me and that's fine. You can do that and you're welcome to go somewhere else and listen to a different program. But when it's NPR, they were the only game in town really for center left leaning programming. So there weren't a lot of options. And they still had the market cornered on liberalism and they couldn't dominate. And it's because I think most people even in New York and San Francisco and some of the most liberal areas. They just people still want to hear good radio, whether they agree with it or not. There's many listeners listening right now to this program saying, I can't stand this guy Valdez. He is a blowhard. He's so full of himself. He's destiny. He's that. I've been here that stuff for a long time. And I love it. The old saying, your haters are your motivators. And if you're out there and you want to call and chop it up a little bit, happy to do that. Let's mix it up. 8 three three four 8 two 5 three three 7 8 three three four Valdez 8 three three the number four valdes. I see the phones are ringing and I'm happy to see that and we've got some calls that we're going to get to momentarily. But I wanted to just close the loop on this NPR. And national public radio, there are things that are extraordinary about NPR. And one of which is they have some interesting programming. And I know one of the programs that I once listened to was a Saturday afternoon, I took my daughter somewhere and I was waiting in the car. So I said, you know, let me turn on NPR to see what they're talking about. To see how I could build that into my show at the time I was doing a local show in New York City. And it was fascinating to me because I turned it on. I hear a woman talking. And I have this audio clip somewhere. We will dig it up and I promise to play it for you because I think you're gonna love it. But there was a clip of a woman saying, I have a dog. And my dog, I think, is a racist. And she goes on to say that she felt that every time her dog was around men of color that the dog began to become very aggressive. And she ultimately connects with someone who says, oh, well, you can bring this dog to Yale University to the center of I don't know what X, Y, and Z ABC, where they'll study your dog and they study dogs that are suffering from different things. Not the least of which is racism. And this is a fascinating back and forth dialog where people went to Stanford to Yale University and it was so bizarre. But it was a real thing. And ultimately, it turned out that the woman herself was someone that. She was the one that was the racist. And because she had apprehension and holding the leash when she was around, in particular, men of color, she would kind of tense up on the leash, the dog would pick up on it, and the dog would become more aggressive. Because the nut Stanford, it's in Stanford Connecticut. The Yale New Haven rather, the Yale researcher said, no, no, no, no. The dog's not a racist, but they went through extraordinary exhaustive exams. And this was the whole thing was so funny to listen to.

This is the same way when we went in and sent the little green men as JSK said into South Vietnam. This is going to be unknown, no, no, it's not. We are doing Reagan do. I went into Kandahar. But Alan stayed stay with me through the break. So you don't have to rush. This is not the little green men because we are not sending American troops to Ukraine. Okay. So your premise is wrong. Right? No, I don't believe so. So you're going to spend spiders into Ukraine. You're going to send F 6. I would sell them or give them F-16, not American pilots. We do not get engaged in a war with a superpower. Proxy war is what the Russians did to us in Vietnam is exactly what we're doing to them in Ukraine. Give them the tools, they'll finish the job just like we fell in Vietnam, Putin will fall. I think over Ukraine. But not if we abandon the Reagan peace three strength doctrine. Don't thank you so much, Alan. Don't go anywhere American more of your phone calls, President Biden is in Ukraine if you just waking up on a holiday. President Biden is in key. Stay tuned. Welcome back, America. I'm here. You at President Biden is in key with president zelensky and I am in the West Coast studio and Selena zito is in yinzer land in Pittsburgh. He's been running up a storm. Nikki Haley on Ron DeSantis for the Washington examiner for the New York Post for the Pittsburgh post gazette. Selena great story on Ron DeSantis. How long have you spent with the governor? I spent an hour and a half. No, one hour and 41 minutes with the governor. Those are two great columns. There's got to be more, right? There is one more that's coming that will be in the Pittsburgh coast is that next Sunday. Well, how did that come about? Because I'm envious. Asking, you know, I mean, I've asked everyone that is wanting. In fact, I'm not actually in Juliana on my way to someone who I can't say, but it's going to announce tomorrow. So I'm on the way to do that interview. Going to Indiana, are you? I did not say Indiana. No, you didn't, but I know where you can drive to in a day and who might be running, but we will see. Selena on this president's day, President Biden best moment of his presidency, going to keep, doesn't recall error speech. She put out a strong statement. What do you think of this? As someone who has spent the past war, I don't even know what day it is. Four days. In east palestin, I'm going to think that there's going to be a lot of people that's going to quibble with his decision to go there and then I understand all the reasons why he did, but there are people that are hurting really bad in Colombian county in Ohio that are going to wake up this morning and just be so I'm not even sure that adjective is. I think it's broken hearted, hurt, angry, is that he made the decision to go there and they have been waiting for someone. Anyone with authority and gravitas to show up and tell them we care. We hear you. We're not going. I do believe, your honor, east Palestinian is Selena and I have talked about is about 30 minutes from her in 30 minutes from my hometown and I've been there many, many times. Jim strock, former California EPA administrator former head of enforcement under HW Bush at EPA, wrote on his substack yesterday about the complete travesty that is the east Palestinian train wreck. And Selena, I would be afraid. And of course, the trial lawyers are there now and they're going to sue everybody. But it's shameful that Pete Buttigieg is not there..

"Thank you, Robert. Randy and Tennessee, good morning, Randy, which part of Tennessee are you in Knoxville? I'm in Knoxville. I'm actually in a bedroom community, coryton, Tennessee. And that's the home of PFC canals who was killed and withdrawal. One of the 13. I'm just ready to hear that as high school. They've renamed taswell pike the Ryan kanawha memorial highway. Well, that's wonderful. You heard the gold star father earlier, maybe you heard them call in on this president and reminding us of the 13 Americans at the very end. I mean, we've more than 7000 Americans died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tens of thousands wounded. That's why we do the semper 5 funds show every Memorial Day and every Veterans Day to take care of the trips who got injured in the long wars. But what do you think about Ukraine, Randy? I am very worried about poking Russia in the eye and seeing that maybe somebody like Putin could do something horrible to us for engaging in a proxy war with the Russians. I don't know if you, you know, I'm a conservative Republican because Republican Party is the home of conservatism, I'm a little R with a big C man, 22 years of nonstop war. You just said all those poor people are troops that got killed and Iraq and Afghanistan and with no disrespect because God love him and I sure do, what did it get us? And well, look, it got us a lot in the Middle East. The Abraham accords, a unified front against Iran, and a long-term deterrent there. Oh yeah, we've got the Abraham accord with the UAE and Bahrain and Morocco and we will soon have Saudi in there aligned with the puppet regime run by the Iranians where all of our guys got killed. And that is true. And I do believe the problem of Iran is a clarifying moment. Iran is though a country of wonderful people being ruled by a theocracy and they killed our boys and we killed Soleimani and Trump had the right idea about bankrupting them, but we got to look at the world as it is, not and we could have done things better. We don't 2020 hindsight is perfect. But it doesn't mean we turn our eyes away from what's going on right now in the world. Yeah, I'm not. I'm doing Ronald Reagan. You said, when we wake up one day and we've got an EMT or a nuke going off in New York City, nobody's gonna be wet and me paint their house because we want to get involved with a bunch of Ukrainians, the most corrupt country. They're going off target here. I am with you. I do not want any American troops killed in Ukraine. The best way to secure America is if you are a small, large sea go at the Reagan doctrine, peace through strength and do what Reagan did never engage Russia directly, do it through proxies and do it through weaponry and this is Reagan two policy, poorly executed by Biden blinken, but nevertheless it's still the same policy. Thank you, Randy. Allen and Ohio, go ahead, Alan. Good morning, happy presents day you..

"It. Richard, thank you. Let's go to Chicago and Gary. Good morning, Gary. How are you? Good morning. I don't think this has anything to do with Ukraine and their position with NATO. This is totally regarding Russia and stopping their aggression. And I wish the administration would see that this is an opportunity to possibly shut down Russia for good without expending one American soldier if they would just give the Ukrainians everything they needed. And I think it is good to see Biden go to Ukraine. I think it's a finest moment in his presidency on president's day. Yeah, I will say I just wish they would see the opportunity to possibly shut down Russia for good. Or actually converted to a modern European nation. I was reading a long story on Putin yesterday, and they're reverting to complete stalinist thuggery and he thinks he's a czar. And I just put this on my Twitter feed, AP just reported President Biden announced another half $1 billion in aid, which is great, but no more advanced weaponry, no new advanced rep. They need fighters that they can fly. We've got them. Totally agree. We've got them, our NATO allies have them. And The Pentagon under President Biden's orders will not send them. So it's like a fight with one hand behind your back. I do not understand it, but I applaud him going and it will certainly have a great impact. Thank you, Gary, for listening in Chicago this morning. Harry and Pittsburgh, good morning, Harry, how are you? Very fine. Thank you. After 20 years in Afghanistan and then the surrender leaving behind 80 plus $1 billion of our weapons and you think we should be giving F-16s to Ukraine. Who's going to fly them? Who's going to maintain? If they can't fly, you know, give them, but it's not the world. They've got already fighter pilots who are flying advanced planes. They're just not as good as the F-16 and that when I'm not saying the F-22 and technology that can be lost. And I don't think in any way obscures that, I don't know how much we left in Afghanistan, but it was a lot and we left a lot of blood and treasure there and mostly it's the bud that bothers me and we left a lot of allies there. And that's why Putin, I think, invented Ukraine is because he saw our reaction in Afghanistan, but Harry, the two aren't connected except this is an American display of strength and Afghanistan was the worst display of collapse since Vietnam. We just spent one $.2 million shooting down three weather balloons. We don't know that. Harry, we don't know that. You don't know that. I don't know that we don't know what they were, one of them is at the bottom of bottom of Lake Huron, and it was a terrible execution of an important strategy. And we let the Chinese spy machine coast over the United States and send all the data back to the CCP. Then we shot it down. And that was stupid. Turns out we shot at it in Montana and couldn't bring it down. So there's a question about The Pentagon's competence here as well. But this is, when you have a $31 trillion debt, we're not talking about real money here. You want to fix the real money problem. You got to fix entitlements. You want to fix entitlements. It's going to have to be bipartisan and a virgin birth. But it's got nothing to do with supporting Ukraine. The cost of a war would be a lot more if he engages polling or any of the NATO allies. But I appreciate the call. Robert in Delaware, one 805 two O one two three four. What do you say, Robert? Yeah, I guess my concern is, can we get to this sort of like a yacht or a moment about what's going to go on a rush with some people behind the scenes are going to cut the legs out from underneath Putin because before we have World War three, what's going to happen first? Well, you're right to be worried about that. I want to draw your attention to a Robin Dixon story. And yesterday's Washington Post, Putin's are with no empire needs military victory for his own survival. And I am worried about escalation because I think Putin is nuts. And I do worry about that, but I think the likeliest way to deter him from ever using his nukes or anything to end up with World War three is to fight him on the front line in the Donbass. There are military getting, eviscerated. And maybe even decimated, I mean the old Latin sense, one out of ten Russian soldiers dead, that body count is extraordinary. Their losses are so savage and huge because they're just throwing conscripts and prisoners into the front lines where it didn't work. They didn't train their people. Their military being shut back. But he still has a nuclear weapon. You're right to worry about Robert. You're right to worry about it. But the best way to keep Putin in check is to beat him in Ukraine..

"Good morning, Jason. What say you? Lauren, Hugh. Happy president's day. Thank you very much. You too as well. Thank you. I agree that it's a bold move for him to be over in Ukraine. As far as being the right idea, that's a 50 50. I'm not a big supporter of the war. Why do you say 50 50? You got a minute. All right, I'm 20 years military. I'm retired now. Well, thank you for your ears. Them not being part of NATO, we're sticking our feet into dangerous territory. This country is not in a great shape to go to a war. Our military is not ready for it. So by jumping in there, that could get us into a war that we're not ready for. Well, that's a good caution. No American troops are there special forces may be going there and if Putin wants to start a war, he will start it, not us. And if he starts a war by engaging any of the NATO countries and invoking article 5, we have to fight it. And it's going to be between two nuclear power, they'll make the Cuban missile crisis look like a dance. But I appreciate the sentiment and Jason. Thank you, especially for 20 years in uniform. Much appreciated. It's president's day. Call me about President Biden in Kyiv one 805 two O one two three four. Good morning, America. I'm here at live on the West Coast. President Biden is in cave Ukraine. I want to remind everyone yesterday's political items. I read students letters every day, news items by John Ellis and political items in John Ellis. Substack subscriptions. I like the product so much I actually invested in it because it's real news. It's just the summary of the news. Yesterday, John circulated a summary of about a half dozen polls from various places. And the one that stuck in my mind, I went and found it and just put it out on Twitter. If you're not following me on Twitter, I wish you would. I do mostly straighten his plus the browns guardians cabs and the Ohio State university buckeyes. Yesterday, Alice political items. Nearly one year into the war between Russia and Ukraine, American support for Ukraine holds steady, a stable 65% of U.S. adults prefer that the United States support Ukraine in reclaiming its territory, even if that results in a prolonged conflict. Meanwhile, 31% continue to say they would rather see the U.S. work to end the war quickly even if this allows Russia to keep the territory that it's has occupied in Ukraine. I am at the 65% and believe that as president Reagan did with the mujahideen in Afghanistan throughout the 80s, we ought to be doing with Ukraine, whatever they need. Give the tools they'll finish the job. People agree and disagree Richard in South Carolina. Good morning, Richard. You've been waiting the longest. Let's start with you. How are you? Happy president's day. Happy president's day. I agree with you. I'm not a certified, but I'm glad he's there, and we should never forget that in the early 90s, at the end of the Cold War, Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons to the United States, which kept him out of the hands of terrorists. And we should do everything we can to support that country because I tell you they're fighting that war. And if we're not careful and we don't support them, we'll probably all be in a big war soon. So I certainly am happy that Biden went there to support the Ukraine that the one year anniversary. I think it's the strongest moment of his presidency. I agree. And it's not a very, there aren't many of those to pick from, but you're absolutely right. The tip of the sword right now in the war of freedom against the totalitarianism is on the front line in Ukraine where free people are fighting against the axis that is China, Russia, Iran, and not China, particularly, but the Chinese Communist Party, not Russia, but Putin and his gang and not the Iranian people, but the mullahs at the center of.

U.S. intelligence White House communications director Kate bedingfield in the briefing room today says Putin's inner circle whatever that is won't tell him the truth I certainly am not a spokesperson for the Kremlin and can not speak to what is in Vladimir Putin's head What I can say is of course we have information that Putin felt misled by the Russian military which has resulted in persistent tension between Putin and his military leadership We believe that Putin is being misinformed by his advisers about how badly the Russian military is performing and how the Russian economy is being crippled by sanctions because you see your advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth Yeah but he didn't love that This after the president spoke to Vladimir zelensky today call ran about an hour It was not the war though that President Biden talked about in an address to the nation's day was COVID making another call to Congress to pass COVID relief money Congress has to provide the funding to America needs to continue to fight COVID-19 While we're at we're already seeing the consequences of congressional inaction The monoclonal antibodies take monoclonal antibodies for example They've helped save lives This isn't partisan It's medicine That's a pretty good line I bet you hear it again President says testing kits are also running out vaccine supplies will follow And that's where we begin today with congressman Brian Higgins Democrat from New York Congressman welcome back to Bloomberg Happy to be with you I know you're getting busy on the president's budget that dropped this week $5.8 billion before we talk about next fiscal year though I'd like to ask you quickly about this one that we ran because Congress did not include the COVID funding that the Biden administration requested as you well know And you probably heard the president on this again today asking for money for testing for Therapeutics Can you tell our listeners if these programs will be funded this year Well they have to be funded I mean we start what happened to the economy over the past 24 months And the amount of money that the federal government had to stand to develop vaccines to keep the American economy and by extension the world economy from collapsing So not to be prepared for the next iteration of this virus is foolhardy So I suspect that Congress will be very receptive to The White House's request to provide more COVID testing and other forms of funding Well I know there was a lot of pushback on this the first time around with the omnibus from Democrats as well It wasn't the typical COVID politics here There were concerns about offsets and using unused COVID money in the states Do you think this should be offset if it's a stand-alone Bill I don't think it's important Look if we can finance the three wars Middle East to the tune of $6 trillion off budget we can certainly fund COVID relief for the people of America Whether it's on budget or off budget But the reality is we can't afford not to do it because we have seen over the past two years What a devastating impact it has not only in terms of lives and illness but also in terms of the economy There have been reports that there could be a deal on this at some point soon Are you hearing that What are you hearing on the committee level about that Hearing that there will be a deal and it's a question of what the contours are the DLR but I'm certain that it will provide the kind of early that's needed In terms of this new budget as I mentioned The White House says it's seeks fiscal responsibility in lowering deficit spending by a $1 trillion that relies though on a minimum tax on income and unrealized gains for the super wealthy Do you support that approach I support looking at that I mean keep in mind there is a strategy that people buy in asset bills and ask that viral against the asset And then they die never paying taxes on very significant wealth accumulation And I think that if you look at people that are making a lot of money they should be paying something And everything they're doing is perfectly legal under the current tax code But I think we have to find a way to capture a fair contribution from those folks After admit congressman we're hearing about a backlog of tens of millions of tax returns this year Wouldn't you have to infuse a lot of money to the IRS to beef up the workforce to help enforce those rules Well why wouldn't we be doing that I mean that's what we depend on to finance the federal budget And some people that can't afford lawyers and accountants aren't going to be able to they're going to have to pay their fair share and others should as well So we should clearly when you talk about self defeating clearly we should be fully funding the Internal Revenue Service Look I don't like to pay taxes either Believe me But everybody should pay their fair share and if some people pay and others don't that's a problem that has to be corrected by Congress as it relates to the IRS How many people do you need to hire at the IRS as a member of the ways and means committee Do you have a sense of that how we don't have to go through this again next year never mind adding new responsibilities.
